Regions of Portugal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
There are 5
Regions (
regiões, singular -
região) in mainland
Portugal:
- Algarve
- Alentejo
- Centro
- Lisboa e Vale do Tejo
- Norte
These regions are the portuguese NUTS II subdivisions, based not at the
district level, but at the
municipal one, leading to large inconsistencies between district and region limits. Each of the two authonomous regions is its own NUTS II region.
Municipalities are at NUTS IV level. In between there's stastistical regions with no administrative value of their own.
